The tone is eerily similar.
2007: “Weapons? No! Never!”
1994: “Cut a head off? No! Never!”
Well. Mr. OJ Simpson is in deep doo-doo again for fibbing. One of his accomplices in the recent Vegas memorabilia heist is saying OJ explicitly ordered for guns to be drawn during the caper (caper as in crime, not the vegetable thingy).
Here’s some details:
O.J. said ‘Hey, just bring some firearms,’” Walter Alexander told police in a transcript of his tape-recorded statement obtained by The Associated Press.
Alexander told police after his arrest Sept. 15 that he and another man showed up with guns at the former football star’s request, then headed with him into a casino hotel room to retrieve collectibles that Simpson said belonged to him.
“He said … ‘we won’t have to use ‘em, but … just to look tough, you know, so that these people know that, you know, we’re here for business,’” Alexander said. [LINK TO STORY]
Suuurrrre….”we won’t have to use ‘em!” I’m sure it’s the same line he gave Kato Kaelin after he returned from Costco back in ‘94 with that slick new pair of gloves and machete. Something tells me the trial will end on some weird circumstance involving OJ’s hand, a small firearm, and a swollen index finger that doesn’t fit around a trigger.
